I'm actually using the very system that Mr. Bill was making those comments about. And in stock configuration, I wouldn't disagree
with a word of what Mr. Bill (and Lionel) are commenting on. Very loud system.
I'm planning to pull the system board and power supply from its original enclosure, put those in a larger enclosure, then replace
the OEM small fans with some quieter, larger fans to address cooling.
That issue out of the way, I see the single PCI-E expansion slot as the biggest limiting factor in having this system as any type of
at-home desktop.

I'm doing this with the T1000, as that is a system I have, and paid for, that I haven't gotten a lot of use out of, but really need
to. If I was spending that money today and duplicating this experiment, and specifically staying with SPARC, given my planned
desktop style usage and budget, and I would expect most peoples, I would be doing this with an M3000.
